Perfect!

The Mango Cottage was the perfect place to spend our last 5 days on the island. The location is fantastic, the neighborhood is quiet and the cottage is beautifully landscaped and comfortable. Friendly and accommodating hosts made the stay even better. We hope to return soon!

We should have stayed here longer…

Perfect beach cottage steps from a really cool public access park. You will absolutely love the Puako neighborhood. There are around 10 beach access points to explore nearby. The Mango cottage sits near the end of a dead end road (from a map it might look like the road keeps going but a few hundred yards past the house it’s closed to vehicles, you can bike/walk it). It’s only a short walk to a super cool petroglyph trail. Do it early or late for the best lighting. We would also see multiple owls every night just down the road from the cottage. The cottage has an excellent outdoor shower. We never used the indoor one, outside was too perfect. The beach chairs and umbrella were great for the local beaches. Snorkeling is great in this area, bring your gear or rent locally. This place is a true gem. 10/10 recommend. Next time we will stay for much longer than three nights!

Terrific little gem in an idyllic location

My wife and I loved our stay in the Mango Cottage in Puako. Rick was nearby on the property (in the back-house) and he was attentive if we had any requests but respectful of our privacy. We took advantage of the prime location and snorkeled and visited the sea turtles at least once a day. The outdoor shower was great. We look forward to our next visit!

Mango Cottage stay

This was such an excellent place to stay. Location on Puako Rd is a great part of island and super access to snorkeling and shoreline. The Mango Cottage had very nice quality amenities and Rick was so kind and helpful at every turn. I am for sure hoping to plan another trip back to stay at this property. I thought it was a very good value for all of the amenities and location.

Great location, great host.

We enjoyed exploring the area from the Mango Cottage. The surrounding area is just stunning! Great snorkeling right across the street. We enjoyed the comforts of the Mango Cottage-well equipped kitchen, super comfortable mattress, birds waking us in the morning. We hope to return to see the manta rays. Thanks, Scott!

Two day stay

Nice small cottage. Beach across the road but it is mainly large lava boulders so you need to drive to get to a sandy beach. I did see people work their way through the lava to snorkel.

Perfect beach cottage

Mango Cottage has everything you need for a beach getaway. We will plan a longer stay here next time we’re on Big Island. We had a nice easy relaxing stay. Plenty of resort amenities are close by if that’s your thing. We prefer a more local style. Mahalo nui loa Scott!

Sweet as a mango

This place is not glitzy at all but is homey and has what we needed to be comfortable and more. Love the outdoor shower, easy access to the neighborhood beach, and well equipped kitchen. Neighbors treated us like we belonged there! Scott was available for anything we needed like beach advice, barbecue skewers, and figuring out little quirks of the cottage. Would definitely stay here again!

Local style excellence!

These were our last 2 days on this island and this was exactly what I hoped for- local style and proximity to secluded shady awesome beaches. Would have loved to stay here longer or the whole time but we explored Kona first then Hilo side. Having once lived on Kauai myself years ago- this is what I remember and longed for!! We hope to return someday for longer! Mahalo! Kim & Pat, Margaux and Jacqui

Relaxing cozy cottage

Thoroughly enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing stay at the Mango Cottage. It is steps away from the ocean for great swimming and snorkeling. Cottage was clean and comfortable, and enjoyed the using the outdoor shower. I especially enjoyed the delicious Kona coffee. Great place for a quiet couple's getaway. Looking forward to staying here on my next visit to the Big Island. Thank you!

Mango cottage is our favorite!

We Love everything about Mango cottage. Scott is a great host. The Cottage is in a beautiful neighborhood, clean, and has everything you need. My husband and son surfed right out front daily ( little swell when we where there.) We all enjoyed the snorkeling, diving, and the tide pools right across the street, and many other beaches by walking the coast trails. This property is a true Puako gem. We would move in if we could!

Paradise Found

We absolutely loved our stay at Mango Cottage! The location is phenomenal, and there is a magical and unique sunset every night 20 feet away with privacy and only natural sounds. Every day the air is magnificent. We’ve never felt more alive. The only issue was the constant tiny bugs. I got bit up but good- incredibly itchy. That’s just Hawaii - not Mango Cottage. Would come here again in a heartbeat!
